Rich Eisen· Jan 30, 2025
Eisen predicted the Rams will re-sign Matthew Stafford, who will not play for his current $23 million base salary and will command a deal starting with a four; he also expects the Giants to draft a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick.
“And that's the reason why I think the Rams are 100% going to figure out how to get Matthew Stafford back in the fold and maybe finish his career in Los Angeles.”

- Tom PelisseroTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Hit · 100Pelissero laid out the Giants' quarterback situation with Jameis Winston starting, said Jayden Daniels likely won't be back when Washington plays the Giants and that Caleb Williams is unlikely to play Monday night, and floated Joey Porter Jr. landing in Dallas and Kirk Cousins being traded in-season.
- Joel CorryTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Hit · 100Corry runs through 2026 contract-year players and forecasts how their situations resolve: Puka Nacua as a prime franchise tag candidate in Los Angeles, a second straight tag for George Pickens in Dallas, a possible pre-deadline trade of Joey Porter Jr., and Moro Ojomo getting his best contract away from Philadelphia.
- Bryan DeArdoTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Miss · 0DeArdo argues that a resolution to Joey Porter Jr.'s standoff with the Steelers is coming soon and that trading him is the only logical outcome, proposing three mock trades — all sending Porter to the Lions, with the middle scenario (Porter plus a 2027 third for Detroit's 2027 first and sixth) the one he calls a genuine win-win.
- Christian BooherTrade and Signing Calls · Joey Porter Jr.Miss · 0Booher argues the Lions' struggling secondary needs a cornerback addition and names four trade targets Detroit could acquire: Joey Porter Jr., Kristian Fulton, Tyson Campbell and Mike Jackson.
